Crafts: Make Your Own Jewelry

March 15th, 2010 anak SD

Create your bead jewelry is a creative hobby that allows you to produce unique pieces for yourself, family and friends. Here’s how you can start. Have you ever wondered “could not do it myself” when he looked through the rows of beaded bracelets, necklaces and earrings in a very modern fashion store? The answer is “yes.” The craftsmanship of accounts is a creative and entertaining hobby that not only will produce unique items, handmade jewelry, but will also be a great source of ideas for gifts for family and friends.

The first step would be to find a good local store accounts. While there are wonderful mail order catalogs and Internet sites that sell all the supplies, nothing replaces the council help and experienced sales staff. Ideally, this store will also offer a number of classes that would help beginners learn basic techniques (if no such store in their town, some introductory books such as “the complete guide accounts for Dummies” will have to serve) .

Start with a simple project, something like a bracelet or basic necklace, and not go too far with too many ornaments (snaps, hooks, etc.). You may want to use a Swarovski crystal, sterling silver and semiprecious beads right now, but may also pave the way for what is coming. Some stores even offer you to start games, including a chart of accounts (to help with the design of projects and measures), some basic tools, beads, wire, ornaments and books with procedures.
You should then set your “workspace”, preferably an area free of clutter, well lit. You might have to invest in a good light, perhaps one that comes with a magnifying glass. Remember, you work with some rather tiny objects! Make sure you have plenty of containers to keep different types and colors of beads separate – nothing will spoil their joy like having to go for a single account in a disheveled heap. Bead stores will sell various storage systems, but you can also experiment with plastic containers that serve to hold small items or bait fishing.

Well, you’re ready for your first bead jewelry project! Do not forget to protect your workspace from curious cats and children. Have fun with these crafts and watch your handmade jewelry!
